AN OUTSIDE VIEW.
a California journal on Nevada q
Choice.

The Bulletin is one of the leading
anti railroad papers of California:
VIM. NJ. Stewart has received
the caucus nomination of the Re
publicans of the Legislature Of Ne
vada for the vacant Senatorsh,p
He will undoubtedly be elected
when tie proper time comes
around Mr.. Stewart has already
served two terms in the Senate
from that State He is statesman
of ripe experience, a lawyer of
great ability, and miner. More
than all this, perhaps, he is an
economist of aiscernment, and is a
complete n raster of the intricate
financial questions in which Nevada
has such a deep interest Some re-
markedly able papers on the sub
ject of the Money Standards. and
the proper place of silver, have
emanated from his pen, In some
respects he goes further than the
general body of conservative econ
omists, but he is not too radical for
the interests of his State. Mr..
Stewart is not a rich man. He has
not been able for leng time to oc-
cupy the house which he built in
Washington during his first term.
1t has been leased for years past to
the Chinese Legation.
The new Senator from Nevada
will be the peer of any man who
now has seat in the Senate. His
| selection for the place removes the
stigma which Eastern journals, in
the excess of their Pharisaism,
have sought to affix to his State
La Mr.. Stewards case there can, for
the reasons stated, be no allegation
of corrupt practices, We dc know
that there was more solid ground
fer charges of purchased Senator
ships in other cases than can be
| found In many Senatorial contents
at the East. There is quite
sprinkhng of nillionaires in the
Senate, but they do not all hail
from Nevada. There is room for
the assertion that the Northern
Pacific, the Standard Oil Company
and other great corporations are
more thoroughly represented there
than any State or group of States.
If Nevada has sent rich men to the
Senate they have, III some eases at
least, been exceptionally able men,
and thoroughly Identified with her
interests. But she has also sent
to Washington men of ability, with
little more capital than their brains.
The memory of Senator Nye is still
cherished at the Capital of the ma
ton, nor has Stewards work, In the
memorable days Of Reconstruction
the Stewart who now goes back
! to resume his legislative labors =
been wholly forgotten.
The East rarely removes the
beam FROM its eye when it is con-
sldering the atfans of the Far
West. 1t pretends to view matters
from lofty elevation of virtue and
civilization. 1t adopts the same
tone toward us, which the English
press used to assume with reference
! to the United States. 1t exagger-
ates all our faults, while at the
same time 1t is wholly oblivious to
its own shortcomings. When the
past is called up for review the Pa
cife States, comparatively young as
they are, need dread no comparison
between the statesmen whom they
have sent to the National Councils
with the general run Of the line
functionaries at the East. The
roll of California Senators can be
called without much misgiving as
to the result, Fremont, Gwin,
Weller, Latham, Broderick, Nc
Douxall, Sargent, Booth-and in
later years Farley, Miller and Stan
ford-are entitled to rank with
any of the public men Of their
period. Some Of them. indeed,
tower largely above the average
Senator. Nor has Oressn been at
all behind haad Nesmith, Viii
Hams and Cerbett could hold their
